Setting up Windows Server 2008 on a laptop
Creating a Domain
1. Go to command prompt and type
dcpromo
This will install the Active Directory binaries. The wizard will open automatically once the binaries are installed. Do not check the
Use advanced mode installation
2. On the Deployment Configuration screen choose
Create a new domain in a new forest
3. Name the Root Forest Domain
Enter domain name
4. Set a Forest functional level
Choose 2008 But it means older domain servers could not connect domain servers older than 2008
5. Addtional Domain Controller Options
Choose install DNS server
6. This computer has dynamically assigned ip addresses
choose I will assign a static IP address because other computers will be connecting to it and will lose connection when the IP address changes
Go to Network and sharing and change the Internet protocols for IPv4 to the settings on the router. i.e Use the following IP address 192.168.1.254. Then the router address and use Preferred DNS server 127.0.0.1.
7 If you gett a warning that the DNS server could not be created becuase an authoritive parent zone cannot be found
A delegation for this DNS server cannot be created because the authoritative parent zone cannot be found or it does not run Windows DNS server. If you are integrating with an existing DNS infrastructure, you should manually create a delegation to this DNS server in the parent zone to ensure reliable name resolution from outside the domain “treyresearch5.net”. Otherwise, no action is required. [1]
8. Location for Database, Log File and SYSVOL
Choose default values
9. Directory Services Restore Mode Admin Password
Enter password
10. Summary
Enter Next and the DNS installation will begin
11 Reboot and login
- ↑ If you are not concerned that people in other domains or on the Internet will not resolve DNS name queries for computer names in the local domain, you can disregard the message and click Yes. The error occurs when: The Active Directory Domain Services Installation Wizard (Dcpromo.exe) has been configured to install the DNS server role. -and- Enough delegations do not already exist between DNS servers in the immediate parent DNS zone and the subdomain where you are installing the new domain controller. -and- The domain controller you are installing is unable to create a delegation to the DNS subdomain on a DNS server that is authoritative for the parent zone. Dcpromo.exe tries to create the delegation to ensure that computers in other domains can resolve DNS queries for hosts, including domain controllers and member computers, in the DNS subdomain. Dcpromo.exe can auto-create such delegations only on Microsoft DNS servers and will always fail if the parent DNS domain zone resides on third party DNS servers such as BIND. You can see this error when you install domain controllers in forest root domains with two or three-part names (such as contoso.com or corp.contoso.com) that are immediately subordinate to top-level domains on the internet such as .COM, GOV, .BIZ, .EDU or two-letter country code domains such as .NZ and .AU. If your Active Directory domain was to be registered on the Internet by the time it was promoted, the logging of this warning text may indicate that your ISP or DNS hosting provider has not yet created the necessary delegation to your Active Directory subdomain. Administrators may also encounter this error when creating domain controllers in a forest root domain that is subordinate to an existing corporate intranet namespace. For example, if the internal domain contoso.com is owned by BIND DNS Servers, this error will be encountered when Dcpromo.exe attempts to create the delegation from contoso.com to the Active Directory forest root domain corp.contoso.com subdomain. In order for Dcpromo.exe to create the delegation on authoritative DNS servers in the parent domain: The parent DNS server must run the Microsoft DNS Server service. The Microsoft DNS server in the parent domain must be online and accessible over the network from the domain controller you are installing. The user running Dcpromo.exe on the domain controller that you are installing must have Domain Admins, Enterprise Admins, or DNS Admin credentials in the parent DNS zone. Given that many Active Directory domains are not registered with an Internet registrar, and that the DNS servers for top level domains (TLDs) run BIND, this error message can safely be ignored by clicking Yes to continue the promotion. Where delegations should exist between the parent domain and the subdomain being promoted, they can be created and validated before or after the Dcpromo.exe promotion. There is no reason to delay the promotion of a new domain controller presenting this error. To avoid this error message in future Dcpromo.exe promotions, either: Pre-create the delegation on third-party DNS Servers in the immediate parent domain. Make sure that domain controllers that are being promoted have network connectivity and the necessary administrative credentials to create delegations on Microsoft DNS servers that host the parent DNS zone. Alternatively, specify the /CreateDNSDelegation:No argument in the Dcpromo.exe command line or answer file.
